An example of a promotional flyer used by the CODE Lab program at Homer Public Library (AK) designed to encourage middle school youth participation.
This flyer uses replicable techniques to invite a range of middle school participants, including (1) using language to highlight aspects in addition to coding, such as "design challenge" and social "feedback from other kids" and (2) using images of both male and female students.
